In Medici, players take on the roles of 16th‑century merchants competing for the most valuable cargo in Renaissance Florence. The goal is to fill your ship with precious goods—such as spices, furs, dyes, grain, and cloth—and earn the highest profit through clever trading and auctions.

Each player has a limited number of florins (which serve both as points and as currency for bidding). Players take turns revealing 1–3 cards and initiating an auction, with each participant having only one chance to place a bid. In addition to card values, collecting sets of specific types of goods is important, as larger quantities of the same type grant extra points. The key to victory lies in understanding how other players value the cards and forcing them to overspend their resources. The game lasts only three rounds, making it quick to play yet full of tense decisions.

⚓ Prepare your ship, load it with rich goods, and become the most successful merchant in Florence!
